I have known Dana’s work since 2009 and can say with certainly that Dana is warm, kind, genuine, capable and knowledgeable. On several occasions clients I’ve referred to Dana sought out opportunities to share with me how grateful they were to have found Dana and for the sessions they had with her. The Atlanta community is lucky to have Dana as a part of it."
